A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC x HOUSE M.D.

An ambitious blood-magic medical student must unravel a government conspiracy before a murderer can close on a corporate takeover of death itself.

HANDS RISE RED (103k) is a queer anticapitalist cassette-punk adult fantasy.

To say I'm obsessed with this book would be a gross oversimplification. I'm rabid. I'm a terrible little goblin. I've scaled your three-story house and I'm clinging to your window in the dead of night, pressing this book to the glass so that you might read it.

An excellent book also often makes an excellent laying place, if you're a (not wet) cat. Planning to finish this great read this weekend! @alexandrarowland.bsky.social
